Method and Network Element for User Equipment Scheduling

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the scheduling the UE comprises precluding the UE from Multi-User Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MU-MIMO) transmission when it is determined that the temporal coherence is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising improving channel status for the UE when it is determined that the temporal coherence is greater than a first predetermined threshold and less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the assigning dedicated RS resource to the UE for MU-MIMO transmission comprises assigning, to the UE, a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) port which is currently not shared by other UEs in the list of MU-MIMO candidates.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising deprioritizing the UE with respect to other UEs in a list of Multi-User Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MU-MIMO) candidates comprising the UE when it is determined that the temporal coherence is greater than a first predetermined threshold and less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the second time point is later than the first time point by a time length within a range between 2 ms and 640 ms.

12. The method of claim 3, wherein H(t1) and H*(t2) are normalized.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the second predetermined threshold has a value within a range between 0.8 and 0.95.

15. The method of claim 4, wherein H(t1) and H*(t2) are normalized.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the second predetermined threshold has a value within a range between 0.8 and 0.95.
